Combine these 13 cup depths with 1 of 8 band sizes from 26″ (65 cm) through 40″ (100 cm) to make the Ruby Full Band Bra Pattern size range equivalent to over 100 unique bra sizes.įor your convenience we’ve created the Ruby Bra Findings Kit.

All cup sizes from 3.0 to 6.0 are included in the pattern. Determine your BCD by measuring your best fitting bra between these two points. It is much more accurate than relying on Ready-to-wear bra sizing, which can differ from company to company. This is the measurement from the wire line at the base of the cup up to the location of the apex. The sizing for the Ruby is a bit different from other bra patterns, in that we use the Bottom Cup Depth (BCD) to determine the size of the cup. It can even be made without foam, using low-stretch fabrics or fabrics lined with Sheer Cup Lining. The Ruby Full Band Bra Pattern has been specially designed to use with foam lining, therefore enabling you to use virtually any stretch fabric over it as a cup cover. Our testers were amazed at the push-up look this pattern gives.

This pattern features an off-set vertical seamed cup for the roundest styling, and a shortened upper cup for maximum lift. Fast & Easy Copyshop prints for your digital patterns.
